Scott Douglas Gerber, author of The Law Clerk and The Ivory Tower Captain Stephen Erickson is sent to Guyana, where he runs into West Point pal Andrew Rambarran. A government overthrow is imminent, but will Steves dedication to his old friend cause trouble? Guyana, South America, 1979, was not a free and easy place to be. The Kabaka Party ruled the government and the streets. They carried swagger sticks, wore heavy leather boots, and called each other comrade. They had promised to make the small man into a real man; instead they brought poverty, starvation, and racial mistrust to a nation once hopeful, but now disgruntled. American Captain Stephen Erikson accepts his post as Assistant Military Attach in Guyana, aware that a military coup might be in the offing. Hes happy to reconnect with his old West Point pal, Captain Andrew Rambarran, serving in the Guyanese army. While rekindling his friendship with Andrew, Steve meets Anita, Andrews cousin. She is beautiful and intelligent, and Steve cant help but fall for her. Steves loyalties become severely tested when the military plan to take down the Kabaka Party moves the country into a state of uproar. Should Steve be true to his friend, Andrew, or to his countrys interests in the affair? More importantly, will either he or Andrew live to find out?

This book was released on 2013-08-15. Coup available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Coup is the behind-the-scenes story of an abrupt political transition, unprecedented in U.S. history. Based on 163 interviews, Hunt describes how collaborators came together from opposite sides of the political aisle and, in an extraordinary few hours, reached agreement that the corruption and madness of the sitting Governor of Tennessee, Ray Blanton, must be stopped. The sudden transfer of power that caught Blanton unawares was deemed necessary because of what one FBI agent called "the state's most heinous political crime in half a century"--a scheme of selling pardons for cash. On January 17, 1979, driven by new information that some of the worst criminals in the state's penitentiaries were about to be released (and fears that James Earl Ray might be one of them), a small bipartisan group chose to take charge. Senior Democratic leaders, friends of the sitting governor, together with the Republican governor-elect Lamar Alexander (now U.S. Senator from Tennessee), agreed to oust Blanton from office before another night fell. It was a maneuver unique in American political history. From the foreword by John L. Seigenthaler: "The individual stories of those government officials involved in the coup--each account unique, but all of them intersecting--were scattered like disconnected pieces of a jigsaw puzzle on the table of history until the author conceived this book. Perhaps because it happened so quickly, and without major disagreement, protest, or dissent, this truly historic moment has been buried in the public mind. In unearthing the drama in gripping detail, Keel Hunt assures that the 'dark day' will be remembered as a bright one in which conflicted politicians came together in the public interest."
